Snoqualmie Valley Hospitalofficials have picked a developerto help build a new hospital onSnoqualmie Ridge. Hospital offi-cials and the developer, TerryMoreland, have signed an initialagreement and are negotiatingthe final agreement.

Construction is expected tobegin in January, according toRodger McCollum, CEO of King

County Public Hospital DistrictNo. 4, which manages the hos-pital.

“This latest process hasmoved forward very quicklywith a lot of details to attend to,so I haven’t really had the timeyet to let it all sink in,”McCollum said.

The new site will make thehospital more accessible, allow itto improve services and boost itsrevenue, district officials said.

The district had been inrough financial times just a fewyears ago, but since McCollumtook over in 2007, it has beenprofitable, according to the mostrecent report by the state audi-tor.

The district has been lookingfor a new hospital site for sever-al years.

In 2008, the district pur-chased a site near the inter-change of Interstate 90 and state

Route 18, but that move fellthrough after the district foundout that it would be too expen-sive to develop. The district set-tled a lawsuit from that sale inNovember, agreeing to buy landformerly used by the RV camp-ground Leisure Time for $7 mil-lion.

The new hospital will be on anearly nine-acre site on

North Bend’s ban on produc-tion and distribution of medicalmarijuana could come intoconflict with state law thatbecomes effective July 22.

That law, Senate Bill 5073,permits several patients autho-rized to use medical marijuanato form collective gardens. ButNorth Bend’s moratorium pro-hibits such gardens.

The North Bend CityCouncil voted unanimously inearly June in favor of a one-year ban after the stateLegislature failed to resolvemuch of the gray area sur-rounding the state’s medical

marijuana laws.Without any guidance from

Olympia, the city administra-tion recommended that it pass aban to give it time to determineits policy, City AdministratorDuncan Wilson said.

The council passed the ordi-nance under the city’s emer-gency clause, which requires apublic hearing be held after the

A move by opponents of thesitting Snoqualmie TribalCouncil to hold new electionsstalled after a key organizer calledfor the group to stand down.

About 40 tribal membersvoted June 18 for a resolution tooust the current council, whichthey say is trying to illegally holdonto power.

The meeting had been called bythe tribe’s head chief, Jerry Enick.Before the resolution could be pre-sented to the Tribal Council, Enickdelayed the impending showdownin an email sent on his behalf tofellow opposition members. Theemail said that he wanted broadersupport before moving on thecouncil.

Enick declined to comment. Tribal Council members and

the tribal administration saythat the government is actinglegally and that many membersof the opposition have been dis-enrolled or kicked out of thetribe, which has more than 300adult members.

In response, the council isconsidering suspending orremoving Enick as tribal chief,and has asked him to appear atits July 21 meeting. He wasrequested to appear at an earliermeeting, which he missed.

The ongoing fight inCongress over raising the feder-al debt limit has some local cityofficials worried.

If Republicans and Democratscan’t work out a deal by Aug. 2,when the country hits its limiton borrowing money, the feder-al government won’t haveenough money to cover all of itsbills. That could bring the slug-gish economic recovery to ascreeching halt, increase interestrates and even cost the U.S. itscoveted AAA credit rating.

Cities, states and other pub-lic entities would feel the fall-out, too, according to manyeconomists.

That has local officials wor-ried.

“The cost of our moneywould go up,” Snoqualmiefinancial officer Rob Orton said.

Cities, states and otherpublic entities would have topay higher interest rates toborrow money throughmunicipal bonds for publiccapital projects, typicallyinfrastructure.

Snoqualmie recently raised$6.3 million to pay for improve-ments on 10 city streets. Thecity promised investors a 3.76percent interest rate. If the city

sold the bonds a month fromnow and no deal was reachedon the debt ceiling, that ratecould have been higher.

Higher interest rates meanhigher costs for local taxpayers.

Municipal bonds’ interestrates are indirectly linked to therates for U.S. Treasury bills.

“U.S. Treasuries are the bell-wether of bond markets —when they lead, other bondstypically follow,” Neil Bruce, aneconomics professor at theUniversity of Washington, said.

Where Treasury bills couldlead municipal bonds is unclearif Congress and the WhiteHouse can’t resolve the debt-ceiling question in a way thatbolsters investor confidence.

It could end with higherinterest rates and shakeninvestor confidence, especiallyif the U.S. credit rating is down-graded by one of the threemajor rating agencies, accord-ing to many economists.

Investors could be rattledeven if a deal on the federaldebt ceiling is reached by theAug. 2 deadline, depending onhow much brinksmanship isinvolved in the deal. The diffi-culty of Washington, D.C., tomake tough fiscal decisionscould cause investors to ques-tion the stability of the U.S.

economy, which could increasethe perceived risk of municipalbonds, said Ed Truman, a for-mer Senior Fellow at thePeterson Institute forInternational Economics.

But as long as a deal isreached, the current federaldebt fight could be good for the$3 trillion municipal bond mar-ket, said Justin Marlowe, a pro-fessor at the UW’s Evans Schoolof Public Affairs.

“It shows that states andcities don’t play these games,”Marlowe said.

So, while interest rates couldrise, that could be offset some-what by increased demand formunicipal bonds.

How it will play out in theend remains to be seen,though. No experts expect theU.S. to default on its debt, butwhat might happen and how itwill trickle down to municipalbonds and local taxpayers isunclear.

“This is brand new, unchart-ed territory for everyone,”Marlowe said. “Because it’snew, most people in the munic-ipal bond market have no ideawhat to expect.”

Local taxpayers could feel fallout frompolitical fight over federal debt limit

vote. The hearing was held July19, after the Star went to press.

The City Council is alsorequired to develop a work planto get the city out of any mora-torium it passes.

In the meantime, authorizedpatients could have difficultygetting medical marijuana inNorth Bend.

“Aren’t they denying us theright to medication?” SteveSarich, a medical marijuanaadvocate, asked.

Sarich, who lives near NorthBend, filed an injunction to stopthe enforcement of SB 5703based on the grounds that thelaw is too vague to be enforced.

Gov. Chris Gregoire used hersection veto power to cut outparts of the final bill thatrequired government oversight— and taxpayer money.

Among the reasons she

expressed in public statements,Gregoire said she wanted to pro-tect state employees from federalprosecution. The government doesnot recognize medical marijuana.

That concern was among sev-eral listed in the city’s ordinance.

Other governments in thestate have wrestled with ques-tions about the state’s new med-ical marijuana law.

The Castle Rock City Councilbanned collective gardens in aJune 1 vote, after which lawsuitswere filed against the city.

Acting on legal advice fromthe Association of WashingtonCities, the council dropped theban in favor of zoning regulationson the gardens, Castle Rock CityAttorney Frank Randolph said.

Clark County commissionerspassed a temporary moratoriumJuly 12 to consider zoning forcollective gardens.

“That tool is not meant to beused as a permanent ban,” AxelSwanson, senior policy analystfor the commissioners, said.

Kent passed a temporarymoratorium in early July.

Library Journal Magazine,the oldest library periodical inthe U.S., and Gale Publishinghave named the King CountyLibrary System the Library ofthe Year.

The nationwide honor hasfolks in the KCLS Valleybranches, the easternmost inthe system, every bit as thrilledas their coworkers to the west.

“It’s a real honor to work forthis system,” said IreneWickstrom, managing librarianfor the Fall City, North Bendand Snoqualmie branches. “As alibrary professional you want towork for an excellent system,and that’s what KCLS repre-sents.”

Library Journal and Galehonored the library system asthe “public library in the UnitedStates that most profoundlydemonstrates service to commu-nity, creativity, leadership and

innovation in developing specif-ic community programs, partic-ularly programs that can beemulated by others.”

Wickstrom said the librarysystem strives to provide anexcellent product. The system’sembrace of innovation haspushed its level of service togreat heights, she added.

“The Internet has opened upa whole different way,” shesaid. “Our patrons can accessour databases from home oroffices. They can still get librarymaterials even though they arebusy or have transportationissues or the weather is bad.”

Francine Fialkoff, LibraryJournal editor in chief, saidKCLS has led the way for yearsin innovative service to thecommunity.

“Innovation,” Wickstromsaid. “That’s KCLS through andthrough. We are on the cuttingedge. Other libraries look to us.”

Despite their somewhat iso-

lated geographic location, theValley’s branches feel verymuch a part of this achieve-ment, she said, noting that thepatrons of the library deservemuch of the credit.

Julie Brand, community rela-tions and marketing director forthe library system said the sys-tem received the award becauseof its patrons and communities.

“It’s really a reflection oftheir support and their use ofus,” Brand said. “Going for-ward, we need to continue tofind the ways to be relevant tothem in their lives, in how wedeliver services, and the sorts ofresources and information thatwe provide to them.”

At the Snoqualmie library,some of those patrons praisedthe system and their neighbor-hood branch.

“Oh, I believe it,” saidLindsey King, of Snoqualmie,when told of the award. “It’sgreat. We come here for story

time, and getting the childrenbooks to read.”

Fellow patron CarolineChristian said she liked howavailable books were within thesystem.

“I like knowing that even if ittakes a few weeks’ wait, you canget what you need,” she said.

The honor includes a $10,000prize. Officials plan to donatethe money to the King CountyLibrary Journal Foundation. Theday the award was announced,Gov. Chris Gregoire declaredJune 7 to be King CountyLibrary System Day.

Library officials plan toaccept the awards at theAmerican Library Association’sannual conference in NewOrleans from June 23-28.

County library system wins nationwide award


Two tracts of land onSnoqualmie Ridge put up forauction in late May are still onthe market.

Puget Western Inc. offeredthe properties at a reduced rateafter an earlier attempt to sellthem proved unsuccessful.

The company, a subsidiary ofPuget Sound Energy, previouslyoffered the two parcels, onopposite ends of SnoqualmieParkway, as a pair for $2.75 mil-

lion. It reduced the minimumprice by nearly $1 million inthe auction hosted by RealtyMarketing/Northwest.

Bids came in, but all werelower than Puget Westernwould accept, said TimReinertsen, co-owner of RealtyMarketing/Northwest. “Youdon’t know what to expect in amarket like this.”

The company is continuingto market the properties forPuget Western.

The larger of the two parcels

is more than 51 acres and sits atthe junction of Interstate 90and state Route 18 in unincor-porated King County, wrappingaround property formerlyowned by Leisure Time camp-ground. The land was listed for$1.499 million in the auction.It is zoned for 10 five-acre resi-dential plots with horse stables.

The second parcel is 2.37 acreson the east side of the parkway.It sits south of Snoqualmie RidgeTPC, inside city limits. The prop-erty was listed for $329,000. It is

zoned as mixed use for multi-family residential and can haveup to 40 residential units with 19units required to be affordablehousing.

“You don’t know what lone-some is, ‘til you start herdin’ co-o-o-o-o-o-ows!”

Get real, no morefees for buses

The King County Council should not approve a new$20 car tab fee to support Metro or send it to the votersto decide.

The money from the fee on existing vehicle registra-tions for the next two years plus $70 million in reserveswould maintain the levels of bus service at or near whatthey are right now.

Instead of more fees, Metro should make servicereductions to make up the $60 million annual short-fall.

Snoqualmie Valley taxpayers are already paying to sup-port our transportation system. Snoqualmie taxpayerscurrently pay a $20 fee and North Bend is considering afee as well.

The Valley will have some service reductions withoutthe fee, but no lines will be cut.

Metro should indeed cut some routes and get more effi-cient with what it has.

Many Valley residents depend on the bus. There isno doubt that sharing a ride is the wave of the future.But reality also says that bus service will never beaccessible to all. Now is a good time to tighten the sys-tem.

The council should double check the policies thatdecide what routes will be maintained and which will go,giving consideration to ridership and demographics.Service should be focused to ensure people can get totheir jobs.

But then the council needs to say no more to bus subsi-dies. Putting the issue on the ballot is an easy pass on atough decision.

Transit has wider social benefits that make it reasonablefor people who don’t ride the bus to chip in toward itsoperation — but they already are doing just that.

I see by the polls that morethan 50 percent of the peoplethink life jackets are unneces-sary. I think those folks do notwant to be forced or fined forchoosing not to use a life jacket.

Passing coercive laws, in thename of public safety, like seatbelts, motorcycle helmets, bicy-cle helmets and baby car seats, isjust another money grab by thestate government.

I cannot deny that theseitems, when used properly, maysave some lives and manufactur-ing these items provides jobs,but this is supposed to be a freecountry where each citizen has aright to choose.

With regard to the proposed

annexation of the old mill site, thereal story is the manipulation andsystematic demise of the democra-tic process that has found its wayinto our local small-town politics.

On the surface, the issueseems quite simple — annexa-tion or not and whether it’s inthe Valley’s best interest to addmore noise and a couple of racesa year to boost our collectiveeconomic woes.

If you dig deeper, along withthe PCBs on the old mill site,you will find that the city appar-ently has no quantifiable under-standing of just how many resi-dents actually support or opposethe annexation, no publiclyposted estimate of liabilitiesassociated with annexation andno communicated financial ben-efit associated with long-termbusiness strategy on the part ofSnoqualmie Mill Ventures andDirtFish Rally School.

Things are rarely what theyseem. According to SnoqualmieMayor Larson, there are a lot of

supporters of the annexation. Inan effort to support or discountthat statement, I went to thecity and asked for copies of all ofthe letters or emails supportingthe annexation.

Imagine my surprise to findthat 26 of the 28 letters of sup-port came from residents outsidethe Valley over a two-day periodin June. At least two were evenfrom out of state! I’m sure thatwas simply an oversight on thepart of the mayor, but whatabout some tangible informationon the impact to “our” taxes,home values and environment?

Maybe it’s just my lack ofunderstanding, but I thoughtthat the city was supposed torepresent the interests of themajority of its residents. How isthat possible when our represen-tatives have no idea what theirresidents want? How can resi-dents be expected to makeinformed choices with no infor-

I have wanted to write thisfor several years now and I amfinally getting to it.

There are three flags flying onFisher Street across from thepark and restrooms. The funnything is two of them are, ofcourse, American stars andstripes, but the center flag is theCanadian maple leaf...

Unless that house is aCanadian embassy…

Whoever lives in that housedoes not know flag etiquette. Ifone insists on flying a foreignflag it had better be under theUnited States flag. If one doesnot want to do that the borderis, oh only about three and ahalf hours from the Ridge. Therea Canadian flag can be flownfull time, no problem.

poned the Snoqualmies’ annualgeneral membership meeting inMay, when new elections are typi-cally held.

The council postponed theelections earlier that month say-ing that the tribe’s membershipmust be vetted by Sarah Little, aSeattle-based genealogist.However, opponents of the coun-cil say that the audit is politicallymotivated and that member rollsfrom 2004 are legitimate.

The tribe expects to have theresults soon, according to TribalAdministrator Matt Mattson.

Arguments over who is andwho is not a Snoqualmie stalled ageneral membership meetingcalled by council members inJanuary in an effort to strip the77-year-old Enick of his title.

The dispute is the latestepisode in an ongoing fight thathas gripped the tribe since 2007.

Council members have saidthe June 18 meeting was illegal.

For the time being, the feder-al Bureau of Indian Affairs hasdeclined to get involved in thecurrent dispute. But it hasstepped in during otherepisodes.

If no general meeting is calledfor several months, the situationwould become a concern, saidStan Speak, the Pacific Northwestregional director of the bureau.

North Bend police aregoing undercover to makesure local stores aren’t sellingalcohol or tobacco to under-age people.

Chief Mark Toner hasalready started notifying allbusinesses in the city andnearby unincorporated KingCounty about the campaign.

In the operation, ayounger-looking officer fromthe King County Sheriff’sOffice, which provides police

service for North Bend, goesinto a store with an under-age driver’s license and triesto buy alcohol or tobacco.Police also have minors tryto buy in the operation,which will continue throughthe summer.

Last year, police ran theoperation at nearly 30 stores,including three in Fall City,one in Preston and two atthe Summit at Snoqualmie.Only five stores improperlysold to a minor or an officerwith an underage license.One store was caught twice.


Rich Payne’s character inAgatha Christie’s play “AndThen There Were None” is amillionaire.

In real life, Payne works at TheBlack Dog café in Snoqualmie.So, when he heard how his rolein the play must not have been abig stretch, the restaurateur couldnot help but laugh.

“Oh, you know it,” he said. Payne, a community theater

actor since the early 1980s, saidhe’s thrilled with the chance tohave theater in the café.

“It’s really neat to tie the two

together,” he said. “The restau-rant and the show.”

The stage at The Black Dog isdark, and has a black dog on it.Now, however, thanks to Fall Cityartist Bob Hise, it also has a beau-tiful seascape on it for the play.

“It’s really cool,” Payne said. Payne credits director Susan

Bradford with convincing himto appear in the play, whichopens July 21.

“She’s a great director,”Bradford said. “She researchesnot just the play but the authorto learn more about the psychebehind the play.”

Three and a half millionviews of his video later, JonahDuvall remains nonchalantabout his newfound fame.

That is, until you mentionsomething really important.Like, for instance, the nextHarry Potter movie.

“Yeah!” he said July 14.“We’re going to see it Tuesday!”

The Snoqualmie boy dancedto Michael Jackson’s “Thriller”in the stands of Safeco FieldJuly 1. The team featured hisperformance in real time on thestadium’s giant screen.

“Every time I go to aMariners game, I try to get onthe big screen so I dance really,really hard,” he said.

On April 22, he had dancedto another tune and landed onthe screen, too. That day, theMariners rewarded him withtickets for the July 1 game,“Turn Back the Clock Night.”

“That’s why ‘Thriller’ wasplaying,” Danielle Duvall,Jonah’s mom, said.

When “Thriller” came onJuly 1, Jonah started dancing.

“He just does what he does,”Danielle said. “Which is toshake his booty.”

Soon enough, he was on thebig screen again.

“I saw myself on the jumboscreen and I kept going,” Jonahsaid.

Another teenager in thecrowd recorded him and postedthe video on YouTube. In twoweeks, 3.5 million people, morethan half the population ofWashington state, had seen thevideo. The teenager later sentJonah a DVD of his perfor-mance.

“I think it’s very cool,” Jonahsaid. “I’m lucky to have thisprivilege.”

Duvall, 12, has been dancingfor years. When he turned 8, hereceived the “Thriller” CD andmusic video as a birthday pre-sent.

and now Christie’s whodunit,written in 1939 and adapted forthe stage in 1944.

“What makes it so timeless isthe depth of the characters,”Bradford said. “The humancharacters and their plightsreally give us a catharsis to lookat our own journey.”

Christie makes no mentionof war, despite the play beingset during World War II.Bradford said she did it so theplay could be set in any timeperiod.

Besides the scenery work by

Hise and the acting of Payne,the play also includesSnoqualmie’s Christie Coffing— co-owner of the café — andNorth Bend’s Sean Stone, NoahSkultety, Craig Ewing andTamara Bell.

“It’s a really nice blend, agreat blend,” Bradford said. “Ipersonally, as the director, couldhave gone all over Seattle andnot gotten such a great cast.”

thought he was awesome,”Jonah said about MichaelJackson. “I would practice themoves. I thought he was socool.”

He started taking lessons lastyear at a North Bend studio.

“I wanted to become a betterbreak-dancer, better at doinghip-hop,” he said. “I used towatch videos of people doing it,but I would never know what Iwas doing wrong. I knew thattaking classes would help me alot.”

A boy taking dancing lessonsmight be the target of ridicule,but not Jonah. Friends haveoohed and ahhed at their pal’stime in the spotlight.

“They just say, ‘Jonah, dude,that’s awesome,’” Jonah said.“And I just feel very lucky whenthey say that.”

Thanks to Jonah watchinghis video only once and his

mom’s decision to keep himaway from YouTube and itscomments, Jonah has remainedlevel-headed. That is, unlessyou talk to him about a certainboy magician.

“He’s been in Harry Potter-marathon mode,” Danielle said.“That has helped.”

Jonah has always had anability to make people smile,she said. He’s not an attention-seeker, but people respond tohim, she added.

“If you were to ask me whathis gift is, that’s his gift,”Danielle said, adding that she isOK with his dream of becominga professional dancer.

“I don’t care what he does, aslong as he’s happy,” she said.“And that’s the truth.”

She acts, and this is a prettybig role. She sings, and shepledges to bring a new voice.

She swims, and she’s jumpingin a pool with some pretty bigfish.

Taylor Pearlstein will repre-sent the students of theSnoqualmie Valley SchoolDistrict starting in September, asthe school board’s newest stu-dent rep.

Pearlstein is an incomingjunior at Mount Si HighSchool, a lifeguard at the SiView pool, and an actor andsinger in plays and musicals ather school.

“I always try to be as involvedas I can,” she said. “Leadershiphas been something that hasalways interested me.”

Once on board, Pearlsteinsaid she wants to bring a newoutlook on school issues.

“I want to bring a perspectivethat has not been broughtbefore,” she said, “a voice thathas not been heard.”

The school board and thecommunity, she said, sometimesdo not have a full understand-ing of what the schools or thestudents try to do.

For example, she said, theDay of Silence requires longhours of preparation and stu-dents try hard to be respectful.

“It’s important that the boardknows about what we do and

Mount Si student joins school boardthat we do a lot to help thosecauses, so they are not in thedark,” she said.

Besides the Day of Silence,Pearlstein has participated inthree plays, one musical, theschool’s gay-straight alliance,Natural Helpers and the school’schapter of Amnesty International.

“Those are a lot of the groupsthat a lot of times aren’t consid-ered,” she said. “I thought itwould be nice to offer that per-spective.”

Pearlstein’s fellow student repwill be incoming senior ChaceCarlson, who will serve for thesecond consecutive year.

“We’re excited to worktogether,” Pearlstein said. “I’veworked with him before and wewill make a really good team.”

Snoqualmie Valley SchoolsSuperintendent Joel Aune saidthe board will be lucky to havePearlstein.

“She is impressive,” he said.Aune said Pearlstein wowed

the group by showing up in abusiness suit, on time andearly in the morning, althoughschool had been out for daysalready.

He joked, comparing that towhat other students were doing

the same day at that hour.Pearlstein said she felt the

interviews for the post were funbut intimidating, given who wasasking the questions.

“Those were the superinten-dent and the school board mem-bers,” she said.

Now that the spot belongs toher, Pearlstein said she wantsher work for the next two yearsto benefit all students.

She said the decision to applyfor the post was hers alone.Jonathan Pearlstein, board mem-ber of the Snoqualmie ValleySchool Foundation and Taylor’sdad, said her family advised herto consider whether she wasoverextending herself.

“But we’re very dedicated tothe school district,” saidJonathan, whose wife is a secre-tary at Snoqualmie ElementarySchool, “so if she were to seekthis opportunity and receive it,we would be very proud of her,and as it turned out, we are veryproud of her.”

Taylor, Jonathan said, “hastaken her new role to heart. Sheunderstands that the responsibil-ity for public education lies inthe community and she choosesto take part in that.”

Thunderhead IPA has nevertasted so good.

The thousand other mud-cov-ered “warriors” crowding intothe beer garden at MeadowbrookFarms — some munching onbaseball-bat-sized turkey legs —seemed to think the same.

We had just slogged throughthe soupiest mud ever seen inNorth Bend, climbed up 15-footwalls, braved loose cargo nets,precariously teetered acrosssteep, narrow planks in slipperyshoes, handily avoided sharpobjects — most of us — in thejunk yard and leapt over flamingmounds.

Not only was I dead-tired, butmy right hip area ached a littlebit when I walked, so my onefree beer was a much-welcomedreward.

I was one of about 23,000participants — some half-naked,some clad in Viking-themedarmor and attire — who con-verged on North Bend July 16-

17 for Washington’s firstWarrior Dash.

The event, being held in 33locations across the country thisyear, draws people of all shapesand sizes, and levels of enthusi-asm, to enjoy a one-of-a-kindrace, live music, beer and theaforementioned giant turkeylegs. Some painted their faces forbattle, some traveled from statesafar, as was overheard duringthe shuttle ride to the course.And for some reason, a couple ofwomen ran in wedding dresses.

I hastily agreed in February toparticipate when my wife signedus both up, not fully under-standing what I was gettingmyself into. I figured it wouldmake for a fun date — especial-ly if I got to sling mud at her.

Five months came and went,and by the night of July 15, werealized the race was tomorrow.We didn’t make a big deal of it— we run often enough to feelgood about ourselves, and moreor less stay in shape. But we alsodidn’t realize what a production

it really was. Traffic was so bad getting into

North Bend at 9:30 a.m. thisdrizzly Saturday that we wereactually late for our 10:30 start.About 300 “warriors” took offevery half-hour, so we just wait-ed patiently once we got to the

start line for the 11 a.m. heat. The announcer made fun of

the “pretty boys” in the frontand nonchalantly gnawed on aturkey leg while we waited.Music blared from the stage andthe big-screen displayedexhausted incoming participants

as they crawled under barbedwire through the final foot-and-a-half-deep mud pit near the fin-ish line.

This team stunk so badly, it’sno wonder they won it all.

On their way to their firstDistrict 9 title, the girls in theSnoqualmie Valley-Sno-ValleyNorth Little League’s “AAA” All-Star softball team refused towash their uniforms for districts.

“My family kept annoying meabout it,” said shortstop MaddyTrout, “kept saying I smelled.”

Asked why she did not washher uniform, she replied, “It hadour wins on it.”

By the time their fifth andfinal game came, the fourth onein four days, the socks couldalmost walk on their own, teammanager Kristi Aman said.

The team won the District 9tournament and qualified forthe first time for state, scheduledfor this week in SeaTac.

The girls bested players fromBellevue, Issaquah, MercerIsland, Redmond andSammamish in sterling fashion,stringing together four consecu-tive wins after losing their firstmatch, 6-5, to a team of playersfrom Bellevue and Mercer Island.

“To watch these girls playtogether, it’s phenomenal,”Aman said.

The girls have played together

since age 7.At districts, Trout clinched

the second game of the streak

with a walk-off triple, and hadanother triple the next day.

In the third game of the

streak, left fielder MadisonMcGavran saved the team’s two-run lead with two outs and the

bases loaded with a unique div-ing catch.

“I dove for it and then fellover,” she said.

Trout then clinched the titlegame against the same squadfrom Bellevue and Mercer Islandwith her glove, getting the lastthree outs, Aman said.

The team has nine playersfrom the Snoqualmie Valley areaand one from Snoqualmie ValleyNorth, in the Carnation-Duvallarea.

“We all work together,” Troutsaid. “We all try.”

The same goes for the coachesand parents — such as DeannaBrickman, Jon Howatson andGary Damron — who helped,Aman said.

Besides its talent, the Valleyteam had home-field advantage,leading the team to adopt “Notin Our House,” as their officialcheer for the tournament.

“It was cool,” Aman said.“The stands were full, we hadpeople behind the fences, we

forward to getting seriouslymuddy while taking in the funatmosphere and getting someexercise. Some of those peopledidn’t look too happy, though.

The clock struck 11 a.m. andthe mob finally eased forwardand flames shot from the top ofthe start-line banner frame.

I’m used to running on pave-ment or flat trails, so the first

mile of unevengrassland, filledwith molehills(and tunnels)took more ener-gy than expect-ed. Most of usin the packdashed outfront early andeasily hurdledover the barri-cades andducked underbarbed wire. Onto the wallclimb — gettingtired quickly.Up and overwith little to nohesitation atthe top. Butthat was when Irealized thiswould takelonger than myregular 9- to 10-minute mile.

Between theobstacles, we switched between alumpy field and a trail consistingof that clay-like mud that makesyou loose your footing no matterhow well you step in footprintsof those who went before you.And by the time I realized howArmy recruits must feel in basictraining, I actually ran past amilitary vet watching from thesidelines holding an umbrella,who pointed out that he did thissort of thing for years.

The next few obstacles didn’tfaze me — run through thegauntlet of swinging tires thatweren’t actually swinging, slide

down the dead man’sdrop, etc.

The final less-than-a-mile stretch was thehardest, as one mightassume. I was tired,out of breath andslowing down withthe rest of them. Wecould hear the classicrock blaring from thestage, so we knew wewere close to the fin-ish line. But we weresomewhere stuck in abottleneck at themuddy trail in thewoods, about to enterthe blackout obstacle— a 50-foot crawl inpitch-dark.

Emergingunscathed — a fewcrawled too fast andgot kicked in the faceby the person in frontof them — I headed for thehome stretch. My competitiveedge kicked in and it didn’t mat-ter how tired I was, I put it ingear and finished strong. Up andover the 25-foot-tall cargo net.Through the mounds of fire.And enthusiastically throughthe pool of mud.

No one — not even the guywearing only a Speedo — fin-ished the 3.55-mile obstacle-laden course without a liberalapplication of sweat, grass andmud of exactly three differentconsistencies.

Instead of going to wash off, Ilet my layers of mud stick to myarms and legs to use for ammowhen my wife crossed the finish

line a bit later (she then gave mea fresh dousing into my rightear).

Not to focus so much on thebeer — I’m a lightweight, casualdrinker — but it provided thecomplete sense of accomplish-ment that came with the littlesilver medal, a fuzzy Viking hat,the “I Survived” T-shirt and theice-cold hose-off from the guywith a big grin on his face.

I never did find out, but Ihope the guy dressed as WilliamWallace in “Braveheart” won thecostume contest.

The state tournamentbegan July 16, with the Valleyteam enjoying a bye. Theteam played July 17 and if itkept winning, was scheduledto play July 19 and then inthe state finals July 21.

State champs or not, thegirls have their eyes on biggergame. They want to go to theWorld Series next year.

“If they were to win state,they would go to regionals,”Aman said of next year’steam. “And if they wonregionals, they would go tothe World Series. That’swhat they want. They wantit all.”

Indeed, after they win theWorld Series, they want tokeep on playing, wearingMount Si colors.

“What we always hope isthat Little League feeds thehigh school,” Aman said. “Sowhat we hope for three orfour years from now is thatthis is the team you’re goingto be seeing out there.”

Choose the best!ship is basically void.”

Rehm chose the Midwestschool over Central FloridaUniversity and Arizona StateUniversity. Getting the scholar-ship was the tiebreaker amongthe schools, she said.

If she likes it in Oklahoma,she might stay there after gradu-ation. She likes Washington butshe said she is tired of the rain.She might also return to the BayArea, where she was born.

The daughter of a physicaltherapist said her mother toldher there would always be aneed for physical therapists.That, coupled with Rehm’s lovefor sports, led the formerWildcat volleyball player tochoose that field.

The scholarship is for fiveyears. If she graduates in four,she will use the fifth year’smoney to pay for part of gradschool, she said.

Classes in Norman, Okla.,start Aug. 22. The distance fromhome worries her.

“I have never had a problembeing away from my family forextended periods of time,” shesaid. “But it’s going to be longernow, so it will be kind of weird.”
